I’ve used wooden cutting boards for about 30 years now. Never thought about that. But it makes sense with all the nooks and crannies in wood. I only wash mine in warm water and some detergent. Don’t know if it’s true, but I heard that wood has anti bacterial properties. With that being said, I never use raw meat on a wooden board.
In a related note, I saw that in a documentary about some monks in the US that made cheese. Traditionally they always had made it in large wooden tubs. Then they were forced to use stainless tubs because of health codes. After switching every attempt failed because every batch spoiled, probably because there was a good bacterial culture in the wood that helped the batch propagate the right culture, keeping the bad bacteria in check.
Not sure if it’s obscure but Johnny mnemonic. But Tek Wars is a bit more … B movie esque.
There was some 90s mini series that I haven’t re watched since when it aired. Wild Palms. Maybe not cyberpunk. But future dystopia at least
